Many thanks for this page. It’s working for me. I’ve found Namesco to be a pretty good hosting Co, but as a wp newby I think that they could do more to help clients with this issue.

This is exactly what I’m looking for, albeit for a website developed using the zend framework which is in a sub directory on a namesco zeus server…

I’m completely new to zeus and rewrite.script files. If anyone can give me any pointers as to how I would go about removing the sub directory + public + index.php from my urls I would be eternally grateful!

Why couldn’t I have just picked an apache host…? :(

@Huw, have you tried the code in @CheesyRabbit’s comment above for it to work in a subfolder?

Hi,

I cannot get this to work :(
My blog is in a subfolder and have placed the rewrite.script url in there, the root of my WP blog. But nothing changes. Still getting 404′s.

Please help!!

Just like to add a massive “thank you” to Ben here. That script has been a massive help. The Namesco control panel is a bit of a joke, but once I’d uploaded it as rewrite.script, everything worked perfectly.

This script and the comment by @Cheesyrabbit have really helped me with my WP site on a Zeus server. Namesco’s own script didn’t even validate in their control panel, so I uploaded this one manually (with /wp edited in before /index.php as my site is in a sub-folder) and it worked a treat. Some links still don’t resolve but I think it’s because they’ve been set up differently in the theme, so my next challenge is to actually understand the script and change it for my particular site. But 90% sorted by this post so thanks again!

Hi,

I have a slight more complex question. I have just moved over to register365 which is basically namesco rebadged and discovered the hard way that Zeus is a pile of shite when it comes to my wordpress sites.

My scenario is that I use a site (say http://www.site.com) as a development sandbox, so I have multiple sub-ites (ie http://www.site.com/client1, http://www.site.com/client2 and so on) each with its own wordpress installation.

This Zeus thing is all new to me so I was wondering if anyone had a Zeus script that would work for a Wordpress site that also supports sub-sites? All help greatly appreciated.

Great, thanks. Was wondering why none of the permalinks worked. Namesco have a control panel where you can enter the script but I wouldn’t use that as it gives errors. Simply save the above (well-written script) and paste into a text file – upload to the root of your site and rename as rewrite.script.

Thanks again for this script. You have to love Zeus!

Thanks for this! I’ve been looking for a Zeus rewrite and this was the only one that worked! Thumb up ^_^

This all is good news to my Wordpress-loving ears. But I was wondering, has anyone set up a Wordpress multisite?

I can only imagine the complications that might arise from multisite use, but I figured, I should at least see if anyone has found or created a viable solution.

In case anyone doesn’t know, Wordpress now has an integrated ability to extend so that one Wordpress install can be used to administer practically unlimited sub-sites.

And with that comes the rewrite obstacles! Anyone aware of any zeus solutions for multisite or wpmu?

my site URL is http://domain.co.uk/sunil/
I have also used the above rewriting rule in my rewrite.script file. But its not working for me. Please suggest something.

Thanks

I was having an issue with the query string not working properly on Namesco.

This works fine in Apache –
http://www.domain.com/whats-on?when=next
but not Zeus.

Had to change the format of the query string to
http://www.domain.com/whats-on/?when=next

i.e I added a backslash before the ?

Hope that helps someone .

Hi Ben,

Sweet script, works a treat, thanks.

Wondering if anyone else gets errors in the WP CMS using Zeus? I get files in wp-admin/images and wp-includes that aren’t being served, despite them being right there on the server.

Wondering if there are some additional rewrites needed for the CMS or if it’s just some weird corruption with my install. Anyone else noticed this?
